Surrounded by olive trees, this 500-year-old stone villa overlooking the Colonya Valley is a serene retreat a short drive from the heart of Pollença. We bet you’ll spend most of your time outside here, grilling up a storm on the brick barbecue, sipping glasses of white sangria on the terrace and floating about in the inviting pool on scorching afternoons. Should you want to take a break from the unabating sunshine, head inside to the rustic living space – we loved the timber beams and cool tiled floors. After unwinding on the plump sofa with a page-turning novel, plan your Mallorcan adventure at the dining table or head upstairs to catch forty winks in the charming bedrooms. Nip into Pollença’s old town to wander along the charming cobblestone streets and a coffee stop in a quaint cafe. If a trip to the beach sounds like a good idea, Platja de Can Cap de Bou is just a fifteen-minute drive away or why not head a little further north to Cala San Vicente for its crystal clear waters.
